Hi,

Has anyone successfully been able to run maya standalone from an external interpreter?

I’m talking about following this from the official docs.

When I run the following (python ext_mayapy.py), I’m getting “Segmentation fault (core dumped)”:


import os
import sys

MAYA_LOCATION = '/192.168.0.226/pipeline/bin/maya/builds/maya_v2016-ext1sp5_linux64'
MAYA_BIN_PATH =  os.path.join(MAYA_LOCATION, 'bin')
MAYA_SITE_PACKAGES = os.path.join(MAYA_LOCATION, 'lib', 'python2.7', 'site-packages')

# Change working directory
os.chdir(MAYA_BIN_PATH)

os.environ['MAYA_LOCATION'] = MAYA_LOCATION
os.environ['LD_LIBRARY_PATH'] = os.path.join(MAYA_LOCATION, 'lib')
os.environ['PATH'] = os.environ['PATH'] + os.pathsep + MAYA_BIN_PATH
sys.path.append(MAYA_SITE_PACKAGES)

import maya.standalone
maya.standalone.initialize(name='python')

The machine which is running the python script above is a CentOS 7 machine with Python 2.7.5 64-bit.

When I attempt to run mayapy directly, it works as I get this:

[iruser@blade1 bin]$ pwd
/111.222.333.444/pipeline/bin/maya/builds/maya_v2016-ext1sp5_linux64/bin

[iruser@blade1 bin]$ ./mayapy
./..
Python 2.7.6 (default, May  5 2014, 22:44:41)
[GCC 4.1.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import maya.standalone
>>> maya.standalone.initialize(name='python')
>>>

Regards,
Fredrik

Hey Fredrik

These environment variables have to be set before the python process is launched. So your shell or a bootstrap would have to configure the ld_library_path and then exec Maya/python
